Today, November 8th, 2022, is election day in New York State and in many states across the country. Voters will be asked to decide who will be their next Governor, Senator, Congressman, State Senator, and Assemblyman.
There are many issues that are deeply concerning to our communities here in Crown Heights, East Flatbush, Remsen Village, Brownsville and the entire NYS.
First and foremost, our right to choose our children’s chinuch is being threatened. We are also very troubled by the rise in crime, the complete lack of law and order, and the almost daily attacks on fellow Jews.
Each and every vote matters! Increased numbers give our community a stronger voice with the elected officials.
A cross range of Crown Heights activists, rabbis and business leaders have issued a public endorsement of Lee Zeldin for governor, saying that Zeldin is the only candidate who will address issues important to our community.
Other candidates endorsed by Crown Heights activists are Brian Cunningham for New York State Assembly, and Zellnor Myrie for State Senate.

Quick Update from Crown Heights United:
We’ve been monitoring our Poll Sites in Crown Heights and there is Baruch Hashem a huge turnout within our Anash Community. We have also seen a huge turnout in the broader Crown Heights community.
We want to thank each and everyone of you for voting and getting others to vote.
While it’s not a public record as to which party line you’re voting for, your name does become public as a voter. And Crown Heights need those numbers. Everyone is watching.
We’ve been receiving different reports and we want to address them:
- If you’re being told your name isn’t registered or inactive, it’s not a scandal.
Every few years the Board of Elections cleans out inactive registrants so if you haven’t voted for in a while, you aren’t active. You can use this link to see for yourself:
Important: That doesn’t mean you can’t vote. It means you can ask for an affidavit.
The only difference is, your ballot cannot go into the machine but it will be counted.
- If you’re being asked for ID, NYS law does not require you to show it if you used your ID with initial registration.
Important: Please ask for the poller name and Crown Heights United will look into it.
This doesn’t mean it’s a scandal, it can very well mean the poller isn’t trained.
- If you’re being told you must vote down a straight party line, this is incorrect information. You can vote for whomever you please.
Important: Please ask for the poller name and Crown Heights United will look into it.
This doesn’t mean it’s a scandal, it can very well mean the poller isn’t trained.
Thank you again for voting, and thank you for caring for your community!
